Silver said the NBA’s Board of Governors talked wit NCAA President Mark Emmert about steps that could be taken to make that happen.

“If we’re going to be successful in raising the age from 19 to 20, part and parcel in those negotiations goes to the treatment of players on those college campuses and closing the gap between what their scholarships cover and their expenses,” Silver said. “We haven’t looked specifically at creating a financial incentive for them to stay in college. That’s been an option that has been raised over the years, but that’s not something that is on the table right now.”

UK coach John Calipari said Thursday that he is in favor of moving the age limit from 19 to 20 so players would have to stay in college for two years.

Windhorst said that if the Players Association agrees, the change could come as early as the 2016 NBA Draft.

The important line in that story was Silver saying he has the support of the majority of the owners. That means he won't get any issues from their end on this. The NCAA would seem to want this so all that's left is the NBAPA which has been holding this issue up in the first place.

Thanks Mark. I would think that "one-and-dones" might save owners a lot of money on salary caps or permit them to pay their big stars even more, since they are paid minimum NBA salaries for the first 3 or 4 years? They would be in no hurry to change the rule, I wouldn't think? It's usually about money.
